Pride Month is over, but DinoToons stays LGBTQ friendly year ‘round! Even when a book isn't centered on an LGBTQ theme, that doesn't mean we hide character identities. Everyday moments of support and kindness make our characters well-rounded! #LGBTQBooks #KidLit #BookSky #NonbinaryPride

Happy #DinoToonsTuesday! Today we’re doing a character spotlight for Iago Ichthyovenator! As only meat-eater currently living in Herbivore Hills, it can be a little awkward for Iago to socialize - even though he just eats fish! #LGBTQBooks #KidLit #BookSky

Be kind to your sound-sensitive friends this July 4th! Growing up, I never really understood why I felt so anxious around this holiday - it took me getting a bit older to realize I was extra sensitive to certain sounds, like fireworks!

Eyelashes Part 9! There's a lot of sides to social transition. One that Petra's struggling with is having neighbors adapt to her change of name and pronouns. After all, Piper, who's been out for many years, doesn't have any trouble being addressed correctly. #lgbt #trans #comics #kidlit

Did you know? Porter sometimes looks like a kid next to Sam and Ollie - but he’s totally normal size for a Protoceratops! Triceratops - which evolved millions of years later - was wayyy bigger!

Happy #DinoToonsTuesday! Today's a post all about Sam Saltasaurus! Sam is the first DinoToons character who was ever designed. She’s a Saltasaurus - known for their osteoderms - bony plates that make their skin tough! She’s kind, but a bit stubborn too. #LGBTQBooks #KidLit #BookSky

Eyelashes, part 8! After quite a while, (a couple years when posting originally!), mama Pachycephalosaurus approaches Petra to talk...

Eyelashes Part 7! Is it rude to disclose that someone else is trans? In this comic, Papa Pachycephalosaurus explains to Petra something important, and asks her to imagine how much more peaceful it'd be if she could just be herself... #transrights #dinos

When one changes their name, sometimes relatives get stuck on the idea that they're "losing" something. But a name change often means, "I'm still me, and now my name feels like me, too." In DinoToons, I try to show the importance of accepting change - even when we don't understand. #HappyPride

Eyelashes Part 6! One of the biggest supports you can find as a trans person is the connection of another trans person! Meet Piper Plateosaurus, a successful singer and someone who's already gone through transition! #transpride #transjoy

Eyelashes Part 5! Boy pachycephalosaurus grow to have particularly impressive domes, and for Petra... it feels way too big! Petra is experiencing gender dysphoria - which means that her body doesn't match her gender identity. Her hat helps her feel more comfortable when she's out and about! #trans

A little interjection from Eyelashes to show off Marco Maiasaura's introduction comic! Marco is asexual and aromantic - he's really not looking for any dino partners! And sometimes when he thinks of his species name, "good mother lizard," he feels like the expectations are kind of a lot...

A very happy Father's Day, even if we're a little late! Here's Eyelashes part 4, in which Petra's Papa Pachycephalosaurus is a supportive dad dino!!

Possibly the most bittersweet comic in the miniseries, Eyelashes Part 3. When coming out as trans, not everyone "gets it" or is accepting right away. In Petra's case... her mom is going to take a little longer. Let's build towards a more understanding world together. #transrights #pridemonth

Next comes Eyelashes Part 2! Some trans dinos are (relatively) comfortable hearing their dead name - that is, the name they had before their new one - but Petra is NOT one such dino! Whenever Petra's dead name is spoken by a character, it's represented by the first letter and a dash censor! #pride

Eyelashes, Part 1! Feels so long ago now that Petra found her name.... This Comic originally came out in July 2020! Gonna steadily post all 10 parts of Petra's miniseries "Eyelashes" on here, but you can read them all now at dinotoons.net/comics! #transjoy #transrights #transpride

Sam Saltasaurus is pansexual. 'Pan' comes from Greek, and means 'all.' Pansexual and Panromantic people are able experience attraction to others regardless of gender!

#animationtest Are you a snork mimimi or a honk shoo? 🤔
This was done a while ago as a little sketch test - Cedar Ceratosaurus is snoring so soundly as soon as the sun sets!

And because since the last post we've got more of these, here's the full little collection of "Pronoun Pin Buddies!" At conventions we have a basket of free buttons that have DinoToons characters and their respective pronouns. It's been so sweet watching people find the one that matches them best! 💖

DinoToons is gonna take some time to post works made originally for the Instagram over here, so you might see some stuff you've already seen.... but these are still important! Happy Pride Month! Stay safe and hang in there!🏳️‍🌈 #transrights
